Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Use your hands to mix all ingredients — except half the cherry tomatoes — together well in a large bowl. Line a loaf tin with greaseproof paper and press mixture into tin. Smooth the top evenly.

2 Arrange the remaining cherry tomatoes on top of the meat loaf.

3 Place in oven and cook for 50 minutes-1 hour or until juices run clear. (If you have a meat thermometer, check the internal temperature of your meat loaf has reached a temperature of 74°C for at least 15 seconds.) If tomatoes are browning too quickly, cover with tinfoil.

4 Ten minutes before the end of cooking, drizzle balsamic vinegar over tomatoes. Remove meat loaf from oven and to serve, garnish with fresh basil, rosemary or parsley if you prefer.
